I think you already answered your own question. Success in a customers install. Show some faith man. For the price you probably get those at, why not buy one or two and give it a go? I'd be interested in what you have to say... Ge0

Just wanted to let you all know there are plenty of boards left of all varieties. Ge0

This doesn't make sense. Amp blows fuses in car #1 when head unit turned on. Amp does not blow fuses in car #2 under the same circumstances... The only source of current large enough to do this deed in the main power feeds. I suspect a wiring problem in car #1. Perhaps power and ground...

I don't have much more to add beyond what Makeshift has said. The primary side of the PSU is defintely blown. Chances are a FET/BJT failed in the output section too. It's 50/50 whether or not the output stage became overwhelmed before the PSU. Best bet is to have someone take a good deep...

Stupid me, thinking stereo receiver, not combo player. Oh well, it was late and I already had a few beers in me BTW, the chip amps are strapped to the stamped metal perforated heat sinks behind the fan assembly, err, DVD player. To the OP, if absolutely NOTHING happens when you power it up...

Interested in what is under that heat sink / fan assembly. Perhaps a chip amp? Ge0

PS/2 mouse or keyboard cable. There was life before USB.

Ahem... Symbilink also has a ground shield . Plus, they sprinkle magic dust on it that makes it sound better. Seriously though. A while ago I dropped nearly $3K on amps. You would think they would give me a break on the cables. Yeah, maybe $10 off my order of $100 or more. Fug you very...

150W is a respectable start. But, 300W or even 600W would be better. That is if you wanted to go balls out on SQ. Mind you, you don't need that much power 99% of the time, but, when those big hits come along every once in a while your system won't run out of poop.

What you doing here beyotch Foxboy is my slave...

Nahhh, a standard PS-2 extension cable from ebay ($3.00 shipped) will do the trick just fine. TRUST ME

Judging from my sig you may think I'm a Zapco fan boy. Well, yeah I like them. However, I've owned both JL slash amps and a complete Zapco setup. You honestly won't hear that much difference between the two. Why did I go Zapco? DSP's like what are built into the DC series are a must to fine...

Opps, missed the 60 - 70 W, not 160 to 170W. A 12W difference is 17%. IMHO this is still nothing I would get my panties in a bunch over. However, if it bugs you then it is easy enough to correct. That is assuming you're willing to pop the cover off the amp, pull the tweeker knob, manually...

Actually this is quite normal. Especially for amps that share a common potentiometer bank between left and right channels. The important question is "do you hear a significant difference in output"? I imagine not. That's only a 6% difference from channel to channel. It is ratiometric -...

Quick and dirty check. Connect main BATTERY and GROUND connections. Next, connect a short turn on lead (say 12") to the amps remote turn on terminal. Strip the unconnected end of the wire back about 1/4". Ttouch the bare end of the remote turn on lead to the BAT terminal. Does the amp light...
